Romanos 11

La Biblia de las Américas (Español) BLA

1 Digo entonces: ¿Acaso ha desechado Dios a su pueblo? ¡De ningún modo! Porque yo también soy israelita, descendiente de Abraham, de la tribu de Benjamín.

2 Dios no ha desechado a su pueblo, al cual conoció con anterioridad. ¿O no sabéis lo que dice la Escritura en el pasaje sobre Elías, cómo suplica a Dios contra Israel:

3 Señor, HAN DADO MUERTE A TUS PROFETAS, HAN DERRIBADO TUS ALTARES; Y YO SOLO HE QUEDADO Y ATENTAN CONTRA MI VIDA?

4 Pero, ¿qué le dice la respuesta divina?: Me HE RESERVADO SIETE MIL HOMBRES QUE NO HAN DOBLADO LA RODILLA A BAAL.

5 Y de la misma manera, también ha quedado en el tiempo presente un remanente conforme a la elección de la gracia de Dios.

6 Pero si es por gracia, ya no es a base de obras, de otra manera la gracia ya no es gracia. Y si por obras, ya no es gracia; de otra manera la obra ya no es obra.

7 Entonces ¿qué? Aquello que Israel busca no lo ha alcanzado, pero los que fueron escogidos lo alcanzaron y los demás fueron endurecidos;

8 tal como está escrito: DIOS LES DIO UN ESPIRITU DE ESTUPOR, OJOS CON QUE NO VEN Y OIDOS CON QUE NO OYEN, HASTA EL DIA DE HOY.

9 Y David dice: SU BANQUETE SE CONVIERTA EN LAZO Y EN TRAMPA, Y EN PIEDRA DE TROPIEZO Y EN RETRIBUCION PARA ELLOS.

10 OSCUREZCANSE SUS OJOS PARA QUE NO PUEDAN VER, Y DOBLA SUS ESPALDAS PARA SIEMPRE.

11 Digo entonces: ¿Acaso tropezaron para caer? ¡De ningún modo! Pero por su transgresión ha venido la salvación a los gentiles, para causarles celos.

12 Y si su transgresión es riqueza para el mundo, y su fracaso es riqueza para los gentiles, ¡cuánto más será su plenitud!

13 Pero a vosotros hablo, gentiles. Entonces, puesto que yo soy apóstol de los gentiles, honro mi ministerio,

14 si en alguna manera puedo causar celos a mis compatriotas y salvar a algunos de ellos.

15 Porque si el excluirlos a ellos es la reconciliación del mundo, ¿qué será su admisión, sino vida de entre los muertos?

16 Y si el primer pedazo de masa es santo, también lo es toda la masa; y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas.

17 Pero si algunas de las ramas fueron desgajadas, y tú, siendo un olivo silvestre, fuiste injertado entre ellas y fuiste hecho participante con ellas de la rica savia de la raíz del olivo,

18 no seas arrogante para con las ramas; pero si eres arrogante, recuerda que tú no eres el que sustenta la raíz, sino la raíz la que te sustenta a ti.

19 Dirás entonces: Las ramas fueron desgajadas para que yo fuera injertado.

20 Muy cierto; fueron desgajadas por su incredulidad, pero tú por la fe te mantienes firme. No seas altanero, sino teme;

21 porque si Dios no perdonó a las ramas naturales, tampoco a ti te perdonará.

22 Mira, pues, la bondad y la severidad de Dios; severidad para con los que cayeron, pero para ti, bondad de Dios si permaneces en su bondad; de lo contrario también tú serás cortado.

23 Y también ellos, si no permanecen en su incredulidad, serán injertados, pues poderoso es Dios para injertarlos de nuevo.

24 Porque si tú fuiste cortado de lo que por naturaleza es un olivo silvestre, y contra lo que es natural fuiste injertado en un olivo cultivado, ¿cuánto más éstos, que son las ramas naturales, serán injertados en su propio olivo?

25 Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis este misterio, para que no seáis sabios en vuestra propia opinión: que a Israel le ha acontecido un endurecimiento parcial hasta que haya entrado la plenitud de los gentiles;

26 y así, todo Israel será salvo; tal como está escrito: EL LIBERTADOR VENDRA DE SION; APARTARA LA IMPIEDAD DE JACOB.

27 Y ESTE ES MI PACTO CON ELLOS, CUANDO YO QUITE SUS PECADOS.

28 En cuanto al evangelio, son enemigos por causa de vosotros; pero en cuanto a la elección de Dios, son amados por causa de los padres;

29 porque los dones y el llamamiento de Dios son irrevocables.

30 Pues así como vosotros en otro tiempo fuisteis desobedientes a Dios, pero ahora se os ha mostrado misericordia por razón de la desobediencia de ellos,

31 así también ahora éstos han sido desobedientes, para que por la misericordia mostrada a vosotros, también a ellos ahora les sea mostrada misericordia.

32 Porque Dios ha encerrado a todos en desobediencia para mostrar misericordia a todos.

33 ¡Oh, profundidad de las riquezas y de la sabiduría y del conocimiento de Dios! ¡Cuán insondables son sus juicios e inescrutables sus caminos!

34 Pues, ¿QUIEN HA CONOCIDO LA MENTE DEL SEÑOR?, ¿O QUIEN LLEGO A SER SU CONSEJERO?,

35 ¿O QUIEN LE HA DADO A EL PRIMERO PARA QUE SE LE TENGA QUE RECOMPENSAR?

36 Porque de El, por El y para El son todas las cosas. A El sea la gloria para siempre. Amén.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Does this mean, then, that God is so fed up with Israel that he'll have nothing more to do with them? Hardly. Remember that I, the one writing these things, am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham out of the tribe of Benjamin. You can't get much more Semitic than that!

2 So we're not talking about repudiation. God has been too long involved with Israel, has too much invested, to simply wash his hands of them. Do you remember that time Elijah was agonizing over this same Israel and cried out in prayer?

3 God, they murdered your prophets, They trashed your altars; I'm the only one left and now they're after me!

4 And do you remember God's answer? I still have seven thousand who haven't quit, Seven thousand who are loyal to the finish.

5 It's the same today. There's a fiercely loyal minority still - not many, perhaps, but probably more than you think.

6 They're holding on, not because of what they think they're going to get out of it, but because they're convinced of God's grace and purpose in choosing them. If they were only thinking of their own immediate self-interest, they would have left long ago.

7 And then what happened? Well, when Israel tried to be right with God on her own, pursuing her own self-interest, she didn't succeed. The chosen ones of God were those who let God pursue his interest in them, and as a result received his stamp of legitimacy. The "self-interest Israel" became thick-skinned toward God.

8 Moses and Isaiah both commented on this: Fed up with their quarrelsome, self-centered ways, God blurred their eyes and dulled their ears, Shut them in on themselves in a hall of mirrors, and they're there to this day.

9 David was upset about the same thing: I hope they get sick eating self-serving meals, break a leg walking their self-serving ways.

10 I hope they go blind staring in their mirrors, get ulcers from playing at god.

11 The next question is, "Are they down for the count? Are they out of this for good?" And the answer is a clear-cut no. Ironically when they walked out, they left the door open and the outsiders walked in. But the next thing you know, the Jews were starting to wonder if perhaps they had walked out on a good thing.

12 Now, if their leaving triggered this worldwide coming of non-Jewish outsiders to God's kingdom, just imagine the effect of their coming back! What a homecoming!

13 But I don't want to go on about them. It's you, the outsiders, that I'm concerned with now. Because my personal assignment is focused on the so-called outsiders, I make as much of this as I can

14 when I'm among my Israelite kin, the so-called insiders, hoping they'll realize what they're missing and want to get in on what God is doing.

15 If their falling out initiated this worldwide coming together, their recovery is going to set off something even better: mass homecoming! If the first thing the Jews did, even though it was wrong for them, turned out for your good, just think what's going to happen when they get it right!

16 Behind and underneath all this there is a holy, God-planted, God-tended root. If the primary root of the tree is holy, there's bound to be some holy fruit.

17 Some of the tree's branches were pruned and you wild olive shoots were grafted in. Yet the fact that you are now fed by that rich and holy root

18 gives you no cause to crow over the pruned branches. Remember, you aren't feeding the root; the root is feeding you.

19 It's certainly possible to say, "Other branches were pruned so that I could be grafted in!"

20 Well and good. But they were pruned because they were deadwood, no longer connected by belief and commitment to the root. The only reason you're on the tree is because your graft "took" when you believed, and because you're connected to that belief-nurturing root. So don't get cocky and strut your branch. Be humbly mindful of the root that keeps you lithe and green.

21 If God didn't think twice about taking pruning shears to the natural branches, why would he hesitate over you? He wouldn't give it a second thought.

22 Make sure you stay alert to these qualities of gentle kindness and ruthless severity that exist side by side in God - ruthless with the deadwood, gentle with the grafted shoot. But don't presume on this gentleness. The moment you become deadwood, you're out of there.

23 And don't get to feeling superior to those pruned branches down on the ground. If they don't persist in remaining deadwood, they could very well get grafted back in. God can do that. He can perform miracle grafts.

24 Why, if he could graft you - branches cut from a tree out in the wild - into an orchard tree, he certainly isn't going to have any trouble grafting branches back into the tree they grew from in the first place. Just be glad you're in the tree, and hope for the best for the others.

25 I want to lay all this out on the table as clearly as I can, friends. This is complicated. It would be easy to misinterpret what's going on and arrogantly assume that you're royalty and they're just rabble, out on their ears for good. But that's not it at all. This hardness on the part of insider Israel toward God is temporary. Its effect is to open things up to all the outsiders so that we end up with a full house.

26 Before it's all over, there will be a complete Israel. As it is written, A champion will stride down from the mountain of Zion; he'll clean house in Jacob.

27 And this is my commitment to my people: removal of their sins.

28 From your point of view as you hear and embrace the good news of the Message, it looks like the Jews are God's enemies. But looked at from the long-range perspective of God's overall purpose, they remain God's oldest friends.

29 God's gifts and God's call are under full warranty - never canceled, never rescinded.

30 There was a time not so long ago when you were on the outs with God. But then the Jews slammed the door on him and things opened up for you.

31 Now they are on the outs. But with the door held wide open for you, they have a way back in.

32 In one way or another, God makes sure that we all experience what it means to be outside so that he can personally open the door and welcome us back in.

33 Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out.

34 Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do?

35 Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice?

36 Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes.
